  • Believe

    Tuesday, October 7, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Do not believe
    because you read it in a book
    Do not believe
    because you saw it on television
    Do not believe
    because science says so
    Do not believe
    because a famous person says so
    Do not believe
    because a wise person believes in it
    Do not believe
    because your best friend believes it
    Do not believe
    because everyone else believes it
    Do not believe
    because others have believed in it for thousands of years
    Do...

  • The Day is Done

    Wednesday, October 8, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    The Day Is Done
    by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
    The day is done, and the darkness
    Falls from the wings of Night,
    As a feather is wafted downward
    From an eagle in his flight.
    I see the lights of the village
    Gleam through the rain and the mist,
    And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me,
    That my soul cannot resist:
    A feeling of sadness and longing,
    That is not akin to pain,
    And resembles sorrow only
    As...

  • Where Do I Finnd You Again?

    Thursday, November 20, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I don't know how I could have messed up so bad.  I read your post here several months ago.  I know you were talking to me, because not many people would share that type of information.  I can't even begin to say what it's about but you knew, and I knew you knew and only a soul mate could have that match.  So I will look for you here, but who knows if I didn't j...

  • Lie in Wait

    Wednesday, January 14, 2009

      
    Lie in wait
    Don't tell anyone the plan
    Remember the plan we discussed
    one gray day last year?
    That the Chinese have in their book of war
    A good plan.
    Patience is critical.
    Feel the moment, grab your weapon-Attack!
    Know your weapon
    You are a hero in your family.
    Nothing costs anything 
    But Human Loss.
    See the Red beforehand.
    The color of anger, power, absolute strength, mutilation
    Life i...

  • THE OLD LOSE THEIR LANGUAGE

    Tuesday, January 20, 2009

     
    The old lose their language
    In native tongue timing is clean, like water
    Sparkling, clear, simple
    Like before the war.
    Why waste time with English?
    It has no space for memories
    Clipped, efficient, like soldiers
    Marching through the mind.
    When I was young we spoke feelings.
    Beauty, nature, song prayer, a baby's cry
    A girl laughing and a tear
    How it feels when the wind blows
    abd the sun shines.
    There...

  • Grandmas Hands

    Wednesday, February 4, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    GRANDMA'S HANDS
    Grandma, some ninety plus years, sat feebly on the patio bench.
    She didn't move, just sat with her head down staring at her hands.
    When I sat down beside her she didn't acknowledge my presence and the longer I sat I wondered if she was OK.
    Finally, not really wanting to disturb her but wanting to check on her
    at the same time, I asked her if she was OK. She raised her h...

    IN GOD'S HANDS . . .
    Rest in peace, my children,
    Do not be gripped with fear;
    For I, your God, am with you,
    And I shall dry your tears.
    For I will hold you closely,
    Every woman, child or man;
    Just look to Me, when you need peace,
    You're in the palm of My hand.
    Tho' the world seems to be falling,
    And held in the grip of fea...

  • Bring The Rain

    Sunday, June 7, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Lyrics to MercyMe's "Bring The Rain"
    I can count a million times
    People asking me how I
    Can praise You with all that
    I've gone through
    The question just amazes me
    Can circumstances possibly
    Change who I forever am in You
    Maybe since my life was changed
    Long before these rainy days
    It's never really ever crossed my mind
    To turn my back on you, oh Lord
    My only shelter from the storm
    But i...
